First sentence: In Discipline and Punish (1975), Foucault asserted that the choice of imprisonment as the predominant mode of punishment was a matter of the elaboration of techniques, 'to locate people, to fix them in precise places . . . a whole technique of human dressage by location, confinement, surveillance' (Foucault 1984/1990: 104-5).
